• Background:

    Hi! My name is Valeria Valencia and I am honored to be able to serve as Cornell's first Latina SA President! Welcome to my website! Here, you will find all of my campaign materials! Be sure to check ValeriaValenciaSAPresident.com for updates on initiatives and current projects! 

    A little about me:

    I am a senior in the ILR School with minors in Public Policy, Law & Society, and Inequality studies. I was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, and then I moved to Los Angeles, CA in 2009. I am a first-generation & low-income student. Throughout my time at Cornell, I learned the importance of advocacy, collaboration, and student action. These have been the guiding factors I follow in all my work on the Student Assembly. All my resolutions have centered on collaboration and making our campus a better, more inclusive, accessible, and welcoming space for everyone.  I'm excited to serve as your Student Assembly President to continue my work in advocating for your rights!
